Eating Disorders

Food has been a source of comfort.

You’ve struggled with your relationship with food. Food is how you celebrate, commiserate, and comfort yourself. By providing comfort when you’re not feeling your best, food has become your best friend – and potential enemy.

Struggling with weight gain and loss makes you feel uncomfortable in your body. Although you’ve tried nearly every diet out there, the level of success is limited.

Constant struggles with food may signal an eating disorder that can impact your health and well-being.

Restricting food has become an obsession.

You may not be able to control what is happening in your life, but you can control what goes into your body.

Improper nutrition caused by restricting food intake can alter your thinking and is a dangerous way of coping with emotions.

Learning to deal with life on life’s terms and not using food to manage your feelings is possible.

You can’t stop trying to rid yourself of calories.

Purging provides a means for you to control your emotions and how you look. It feels like a secret that no one knows.

Deep down, you know what you’re doing is unhealthy, but you can’t seem to stop. By throwing up, using laxatives, or overexercising, you think you have control in this area of your life, but it has taken control of you!

There is hope!

Overcoming an eating disorder is not easy, but it is possible if you are willing to take suggestions and do the work.

Many of us learned the behaviors by accident, trying to survive. These behaviors no longer work for us but have become problems in themselves.

Developing a different relationship with food is possible. Using various modalities allows you to learn healthy ways to cope with your emotions rather than turning to food.

Through therapy, we can get to the root of when your eating disorder started and untangle the grip that your eating disorder has on you. You don’t have to go down this road alone.
